Summary
"May I come in?"
João's head rested against his all-to-familiar door frame. His blouse unbuttoned, curls untied. He gave Arthur a kind smile, "My friends need no invitation."
This was not an answer Arthur was expecting. He shifted his weight, "Are we friends?"
"Why don't you tell me."

Summary
"Arthur, this is for you."
From his stance upon the shore, João watched in anticipation as Arthur's face teetered between that of a wince and earnest contemplation. He stared at the item in João's palms, emerald eyes flickering to his partner's face briefly, before returning to his hands in subtle longing.
"A pot?" he asked finally.

Summary
For humans, when one's partner used their government name, it was cause for alarm. As though they had committed a crime so terrible, they had lost all endearment privileges. By these standards, the lack of a nickname, even if only once, held catastrophic reflections of their character. As though, if they were no longer called "Sweetie", then they were no longer sweet. If they were no longer "Love", then they were no longer loved.
For Arthur, being referred to as Albion was warning enough.

Summary
"How'd you get in here?"
João held back a scoff. There was no need to lie. No daring tale to tell. Alasdair had organized his arrival. Even provided him the keys. It was his land, after all. And his brother. Not that he wished to save him himself, of course. Just wished that he were saved, in general.
˗ˏˋ꒰♡꒱ˎˊ˗
In which João saves his witch of a partner from death once again.

Summary
"I will need a performance."
"But of course," Arthur was ever dutiful with his poetry, "It's only right."
João lifted his head, though he was sure Arthur could not see. "I will need a performance," João repeated, "Tomorrow. Come to bed, Amor."
˗ˏˋ꒰♡꒱ˎˊ˗
In which poetry is a promise of love, and shadows are only temporary.
